Yes, mandatory Char Dham Yatra registration is required via the Uttarakhand Tourist Care portal or app. They check the QR code at multiple points.
Will I get altitude sickness (AMS) in Badrinath?

Jio has the best connectivity here, including decent 4G. Airtel works fine near the main temple area, while Vodafone/Idea is practically non-existent.
Can I drive my own car to Badrinath?

Absolutely. You can do a standalone trip to Badrinath. It's fully accessible by road, unlike Kedarnath which requires a long trek.
Are there ATMs in Badrinath?
There are a couple of ATMs (SBI, PNB), but they frequently run out of cash due to heavy crowds. Bring enough cash from Rishikesh or Joshimath.
Where should I stay?
GMVN tourist rest houses are the most reliable if booked in advance. There are numerous ashrams for budget travelers, and a few private hotels that heavily inflate prices in May/June.
